Caprylic acid is a medium-chain triglyceride (mct), a type of lipid that is not digested in the gut, but rather in the liver, like carbohydrates. As such, it delivers quick energy-more than twice that delivered by glucose. Caprylic acid was first popularized as a dietary supplement by dr. William crook, author of the famous book on internal ecology, the yeast connection. Today it's widely used as a companion to other effective supplements, such as acidophilus and fos, for healthy microbial balance. It's also gaining popularity among athletes, who appreciate it for its quick energy.
